In terms of sheer fun factor, this 1964 Chevrolet Corvette
Convertible LS1 Restomod checks just about every box imaginable.
Fully repainted in a rich PPG base/clear coat of its
factory-correct Riverside Red to go along with its tan cloth top,
this head-turning C2 has a mere 8,776 miles on its odometer since
it was built. Those big and beautiful 18-inch Budnik wheels and
lowered stance subtly hint that there is far more going on beneath
the exquisite veneer of this 'Vette than meets the eye, adding up
to one extremely in-demand 'Vette.
Inside, we find an all-new interior by Al Knoch. A center console
separates the factory-correct red vinyl bucket seats and matching
door panels. An aftermarket three-spoke, power rack and
pinion-assisted steering wheel featuring the iconic Crossed Flags
logo sits just ahead of a six-pod gauge cluster, highlighted by a
7,000 rpm tachometer and a 160 mph speedometer. Power windows and a
Vintage Air HVAC setup offer air conditioning, while a large analog
clock sits atop the center stack. An original-style AM/FM head unit
sports new internals mounted vertically, powering an amp and
upgraded speakers housed in a custom speaker box fitted to the
factory battery tray behind the seats.
Under that signature front-hinged hood sits a clean engine bay
featuring a beautifully packaged 5.7-liter LS1 V-8. Decked out with
body-color red valve covers embossed with the Stingray logo, a
silver-colored composite intake manifold, performance cam, and
shorty headers, this modern small block looks perfectly at home in
this C2. That power is routed through a 4L60E four-speed automatic
transmission equipped with a 2,800-rpm stall converter before
reaching the rear wheels, which are ready to test your self-control
at every traffic light.

This 1964 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible LS1 Restomod rides on an
aftermarket Vansteel's Street and Slalom suspension package. Up
front sit lightweight tubular upper and lower control arms,
two-inch drop spindles, a 1-1/8th sway bar, and QA1 adjustable
coilovers, while a 360-pound fiberglass mono spring, Bilstein
shocks, coil springs, Smart Strut brackets, and a 3/4-inch sway bar
complete the rear setup. SSBC power disc brakes sit at all four
corners, while those 18-inch Budnik wheels are shod in Z-rated

this don't come around often, so call today!
